Yes, we run a Black Site where all our hacking operations commence. We do this because we operate in a very grey area. Ethical hacking is legal (in most countries) if our client gives us specific consent to start the hacking. The majority of our clients asks us about our black site and how it looks like. Understandable since they also want to know if they are safe with out services. In some occasions we bring clients to our black site. But only those who are ok with wearing a bag on their head for a while and those whom are working with us for a long time and have a good reason to visit the site. We can’t jeopardize the safety and anonymity of our colleagues who are working on location every day.

Why?

We encounter a lot of problems with law and order and the government(s) are on our ass. We simply cannot operate from our regular offices anymore after the various police raids we had. Our government seems to think that we hack into corporations and banks every moment of the day, which we do not. When all your computers at your office are confiscated 5 times in a row, you automatically become creative in finding a new solution so the work for our clients can always continu.

Quick overview

Our black site is just under 400m2 and located in a basement under various shops under a thick layer of high-density reinforced concrete. There is no mobile phone signal once you entered the first doors to the site. There is nothing registered on our own name, not even the internet lines that we use. For internet we mainly use Starlink with receivers that we altered to function as a proxy. So you are in location A but systems show that you are in location X. We run 3 networks and only 1 is connected to the outside world. The other 2 internal networks are designed to protect client and project information.

Costs

The electricity that we use in the location is self-sufficient due to solar panels. The total renovation costed €1.8 million euro. But we cannot save costs when it comes to the safety of our clients.
